COOKING RANGE AND STOVE.

Application filed January 27, 1912.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, Josn-PH JOHN GART- WRIGHT, a citizen of Great Britain, residing at Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, county of Salop, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking Ranges and Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention comprises improvements in and relating to cooking ranges and stoves and refers to such ranges and stoves as are provided with boilers for providing a supply of hot water.

The object of my invention is to provide means for utilizing the waste heat from the oven gases for heating the boiler. The hot. gases from the fire after passing around the oven flues, while cooking is in progress, in stead of being wasted impart considerable heat to the boiler and assist in providing a plentiful supply of hot water with a minimum expenditure of fuel. I continue the flues beneath the oven or ovens and lead them into a flue or flues) which passes up at the back of the grate to beneath the boiler where it may enter the ordinary boiler flue which passes direct from the bottom of the grate beneath the boiler to an uptake at the back, as has before been done. In accordance with my invention within this flue (or flues) I provide means for regulating the amount of boiler surface that is exposed to the gases and also means for deflecting the gases entirely from the boiler surface when desired.

In order that my invention may be more easily understood and more readily carried into practical effect, I have appended hereunto five sheets of drawings, on which Figure 1 shows on the right hand an elevation and on the left a section on line 22 of Fig. 2 of a cooking range constructed in accordance with invention. Fig. 2 is a section on line 11 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section similar to Fig. 2 showing a modified form of carrying out my invention. Fig. 41 is a part of a similar sectional view to Fig. 2 showing a further modified form of damper arrangement. Fig. 5 is a part sectional plan taken on line 55 of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a part sectional plan on line 6-6 of Fig. 2 showing the pivoted dampers.

In the example of the invention shown Specification of Letters Patent.

boiler flue and e the fiues above the grate leadlng around the ovens. Instead of turning off the fines 6 below the ovens and leading them to the back and into the chimney I continue them beneath the ovens into the central space of the range. At the central space I lead them into a chamber or flue f which may be brought into communication with the chimney flue 0 directly by means: of the path 9 or with the boiler flue (Z through the passage h. A dividing wall or baffle f may be arranged if desired in the chamber or flue f so that the hot gases issuing from the fines under the oven on one side will not strike across to the other side. A pivotal damper i is arranged to control the outlet of the gases from the chambers f as will be clearly seen from Fig. 2, where it is in position for closing the direct path g to the chimney flue and deflecting the hot gases up so that they enter the boiler flue (Z and impinge against the underside of the boiler and impart considerable heat to the boiler before passing to the chimney c. The boiler may be formed witha substantial passage through it as at b through which the hot gases pass without obstruction and contact with further surfaces of the boiler giving a larger heating area, or the gases may be taken up at the back of the boiler in the usual way. The damper 2' extends across the chamber f beneath the boiler, and is shown as adapted for being operated by means of a slotted crank j pulled over or returned by a sliding rod is operable from the front of the range but I am not limited to any particular method of operating the dampers either in this example or any of those following. The boiler flue (Z is controlled in this example by a separate dan1- per Z pivoted at m and adapted to be raised on its pivot to obturate the passage from the grate by means of a curved sliding rod 7, the connection of which is clearly seen at Fig. 2. The damper Z is formed with double plates or leaves and the lower plate Z prevent-s cold air passing beneath the grate into the boiler flue when the upper plate is raised for the purpose stated. The usual passage from above the grate to the chimney is shown at 0, and 79 is a damper adapted to be turned to close same when the hot gases are required to pass around the oven flues c or below the boiler. The oven flues e in the example are controlled by means of the slide damper e of usual form. This damper comprises a plate with holes formed in it and it slides above a fixed plate which has similar holes therein. The holes in plate 6 are not in corresponding positions in the length of the plate to those in plate 6 so that when plate 0 is pulled forwardly from the position shown in Fig. 5 the holes in plate a are closed by solid parts of plate 6 This is a well known construction of damper.

It will be seen from the illustrated arrangement of the chamber 7 that it is continued to the floor level and has a connection with the space {I so that any dust, etc., that cannot be raked to the front from the boiler flue may be pushed back and falls to the floor level at the back of the space 9 and may be removed through that passage.

In the further example shown at Fig. 3 the same letters of reference are used where the parts are the same and no further description of those parts is necessary. In this arrangement instead of employing the pivotal damper 2' the outlets g, h, from the chamber f are controlled by the damper or plate 1" arranged for sliding on a suitable track .9 and operated by a rod 25. The openings into the chamber f of the oven fiues 6 may be directly controlled by a damper to sliding on suitable tracks and operated by the rod '0. This then controls the oven fiues and replaces the ordinary damper e of Fig. 1.

In the construction shown at Fig. 4, the damper w is arranged so that it may be swung up into horizontal position by operating the slotted lever y by a rod so that in conjunction with a fixed floor member Z and the two-leaf damper Z before described, it provides a complete floor for the boiler flue. Similarly in Fig. 3 the means 1" for controlling the heating of the boiler flue may, in conjunction with Z, form a complete floor for the boiler flue from the grate when the passage at the grate is open.

In operation, when the heat of the fire is intended to heat the oven or ovens and boiler the oven flue dampers e (or dampers a Fig. 3) are operated so as to open the fines e. The pivotal damper Z is turned up to close the fine from the fire grate under the boiler and the pivoted damper i is turned to open the passage h. The hot gases from the fire then pass right around the oven or ovens heating them in the usual way and thence into the chamber f passing upward by the path It to the underside of the boiler and on by way of the flue b to the chimney a.

It will be seen that the heating of the boiler may be controlled by the position of the dampers z (or the damper or plate 1", Fig. 3), the dampers being set to occupy the position shown in full lines at Figs. 2, 3, and 4, to permit considerable heating to take as place; or in the position shown in dotted lines to reduce the boiler surface exposed or entirely protect it, without interfering with the heating of the ovens, and to permit the direct passage of the hot gases. In this case the hot gases follow the path 9 to the chim ney 0.

Wherever the term cooking range is used in the claims or specification it is intended to include, where suitable, stoves and other similar cooking apparatus.
